Yes, it is the overall ease of configuration, operation - but also for me the app ecosystem. Well, my Synology NAS is from... 2013 (have upgraded the drives 3-times), so... it is/was time to replace it, and I can tell you that it won&#

When there is now a 6-month backlog of people trying to take the CFSC/CRFSC courses to get their PAL, and the CAF recruitment site is constantly overloaded, yes - Canadians will definitely be resisting any military style invasion. Add

Agility and flexibility are practical tasks... on the battlefield... who else is going to pay for these...

They have plenty - but the only place that they seem to regularly exercise their "2A rights" is in schools...

CANDU ! We have a great reactor technology which we export worldwide, am sure that we could work with UK/NATO to develop things further, if necessary.

I think we would want French submarines, and assistance from the UK/EU/NATO group long before China and Russia - after all, with the US strengthening it's ties to Russia, that makes absolutely no sense.

It makes perfect sense when you use the logic of expansion and imperialism - this is the same type of talk that Putin has used for more than a decade with Ukraine, and the same type of speech that a certain German leader used about Austria

... and considering we have one Province that is a very distinct culture (Quebec), plus a very large indigenous territory (Nunavut) - I think that things would fracture immediately...

Yeah, our provincial Premier talks a tough-game, but he is always quick to walk things back. Now he gets to travel to DC and "negotiate", with one of Trump's underlings - the Premier does not have the legal mandate to negoti

Republicans want this, and are afraid - not necessarily of Trump and the administration - but their constituents.

I mean - people in those communities can purchase Starlink if they want (I know many people in the north who have had it since it first came to Canada, it was a "game-changer" for them) - this deal was actually at a higher level t

Heh - it's even more helpful when your shop class teacher is missing a finger/part-of-finger or several, and holds up his hands during introduction to safety when operating machines. He never did say what occurred, but thinking ba

For example - our household has forced hot water heating through pipes to radiators in each room. However - there is a "boiler" which heats that water - it runs on natural gas. When we moved in, I installed some air quality sensor

Same thought... ("Instructions unclear, all I see around me is snow") Never worry, it will melt when the scorched-earth tactics are used... /s

That has been part of the republican playbook since the 80's. Leave things in a mess, so the incoming replacements have to spend their term fixing everything, rather than implementing any changes they campaigned on.

Hahahaha... you think they would let us vote? We would end up like Puerto Rico, Samoa or one of the other US occupied territories...

I have had a project on-the-books for far too long... I have a wine-cooler fridge, that had a broken compressor (already removed), so I plan on turning it into an active drying filament storage unit. The problem I have is currently "an

Heh - exactly - the only truly easy character name that has always stuck in my mind was from "Snow Crash", I mean - who can forget "Hiro Protagonist"...?

Not just youth - I work with teams of all ages (skewing towards older GenX - and even younger boomers), and getting them to commit to sending an actual email versus an instant message is incredibly difficult. But - I was "raised"
